If you're considering adopting a more environmentally friendly lifestyle, you can start by reducing your gas consumption with an all-electric or hybrid SUV. The brand new 2025 Volvo EX30 and the 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ are popular options. Let's take a closer look at their differences.


  

2025 Volvo EX30

The 2025 Volvo EX30 is a fully electric SUV and an excellent choice for those who want top-notch performance and features without the high upfront cost. It has a starting price of $34,950, but Colorado residents can enjoy a state tax credit of up to $5,000 when they purchase or lease a new electric vehicle. Moreover, starting on January 1st, 2024, buyers can get an additional tax credit of up to $2,500 on 2025 Volvo EX30s with an MSRP of up to $35,000! Whether you want to take advantage of one of the above deals or both, they make upgrading your ride simpler than ever before!

2024 Lexus RX 450h+

The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ is a hybrid, plug-in SUV that is rising in popularity across Colorado Springs. It has a significantly higher starting MSRP of $70,080 but shares many similarities to the much more affordable 2025 Volvo EX30. However, drivers can still enjoy up to a $5,000 state tax credit when purchasing or leasing the 2024 Lexus RX 450h+, but they will not qualify for the additional $2,500. Therefore, drivers should expect to pay much more when choosing the 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ compared to the 2025 Volvo EX30.

  

Interior & Exterior Features

2025 Volvo EX30

Enjoy complete comfort and convenience inside the 2025 Volvo EX30. Users can enjoy its luxurious features, including a 12.3-inch tablet-style center display, lumbar support, wireless phone charging capabilities, and a Harman Kardon Premium Sound System. Additionally, buyers can choose from four unique interior themes to ensure their new Volvo EX30 perfectly suits their preferred style. Not to mention, Volvo always prioritizes eco-friendly designs, so the 2025 Volvo EX30 is full of renewable and recycled materials, perfectly complementing its zero-tailpipe emission engine.

2024 Lexus RX 450h+

The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ also comes with various helpful and innovative features to elevate the user experience. A 14-inch display, lumbar support, wireless phone charging capabilities, and a Lexus 12-speaker Premium Sound System all come standard. However, buyers can only choose from three interior styles, which is fewer options when compared to the 2025 Volvo EX30. Additionally, the interior showcases semi-aniline leather throughout. Some buyers may believe this material counteracts the environmental efforts associated with purchasing a hybrid vehicle in the first place.

Safety

The 2025 Volvo EX30 prioritizes driver, passenger, and pedestrian safety. This all-electric SUV comes with various safety features to simplify your experience behind the wheel. Some of the most notable include park assist, back-up cameras, driver alert systems, and lane-keep assist. Additionally, the high-resolution 360-degree camera allows for optimal safety and convenience.

The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+

The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ has multiple safety features, including park assist, backup cameras, driver alert systems, and lane-keep assist.

Performance

2025 Volvo EX30

The 2025 Volvo EX30 offers outstanding performance. However, drivers can choose from two motor options: the Twin Motor Performance and the Single Motor Extended Range. The Single Motor Extended Range has 268 horsepower, an estimated electric range of 275 miles, and a 0-60 MPH acceleration speed of 5.1 seconds. Alternatively, the Twin Motor Performance has a whopping 422 horsepower, an average electric range of 265 miles, and a 0-60 MPH acceleration speed of 3.4 seconds.

2024 Lexus RX 450h+

The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ has a 2.5-liter in-line 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a lithium-ion battery pack. It makes 304 horsepower and offers an average of 37 miles of all-electric driving range. It has a 0-60 MPH acceleration speed of 6.2 seconds. Therefore, its horsepower falls between the two 2025 Volvo EX30 motor options. However, it has slower acceleration times than both Volvo motors, so drivers should expect less impressive pick-up speeds in the 2024 Lexus RX 450h+.

  

Both the 2025 Volvo EX30 and the 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ provide a comfortable ride and luxurious amenities.
